If Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver is Science Fiction

"Hardinge is operating head and shoulders above so many other writers of fantasy for children."
~ Farah Mendlesohn, the Intergalactic Playground, 2005

Something special and rare

"Frances Hardinge's debut novel is something special and rare. It is a book of great quality, both in terms of writing and story, but it has also been a timely reminder to me what great children's books are all about, and are capable of… Undoubtedly, my book of the year."
~ John McLay, Armadillo, 2005

Conspiracy of girl and gander

"Hardinge is a hugely talented writer of tireless invention and vivid prose."
~ Jan Mark, The Guardian, January 2006
